patch 'pipeline: fix variable shadowing' has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/02/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/e69f9337cc48a97cfeb39cc1ab0a928323e02efa

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] pipeline: fix variable shadowing

[ upstream commit 5b83f52407d681f176262b5db9f3ca09226d2a37 ]

Remove unnecessary inner variables and rename others in order to remove
variable shadowing warnings from the code.

Fixes: ea5ab65f5743 ("pipeline: relax table match field requirements")
Fixes: cdaa937d3eaa ("pipeline: support selector table")
Fixes: 5f3e6104227c ("pipeline: prepare for variable size headers")
Fixes: 724f3ef422e9 ("pipeline: generate custom instruction functions")
Fixes: 68b95704a6a3 ("pipeline: add API for shared library-based pipeline build")
